Hardcover. Condition: Good. "White people declared that the South would rise again. Black people raised one fist and chanted for black power. Somehow we negotiated a space between those poles and learned to sit in classrooms together . . . Lawyers, judges, adults declared that the days of separate schools were over, but we were the ones who took the next step. History gave us a piece of itself. We made of it what we could." -Jim GrimsleyMore than sixty years ago, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that Americas schools could no longer be segregated by race.Critically acclaimed novelist Jim Grimsley was eleven years old in 1966 when federally mandated integration of schools went into effect in the state and the school in his small eastern North Carolina town was first integrated. Until then, blacks and whites didnt sit next to one another in a public space or eat in the same restaurants, and they certainly didnt go to school together.Going to one of the private schools that almost immediately sprang up was not an option for Jim: his family was too poor to pay tuition, and while they shared the communitys dismay over the mixing of the races, they had no choice but to be on the front lines of his schools desegregation.What he did not realize until he began to meet these new students was just how deeply ingrained his own prejudices were and how those prejudices had developed in him despite the fact that prior to starting sixth grade, he had actually never known any black people.Now, more than forty years later, Grimsley looks back at that school and those times--remembering his own first real encounters with black children and their culture. The result is a narrative both true and deeply moving. Jim takes readers into those classrooms and onto the playing fields as, ever so tentatively, alliances were forged and friendships established. And looking back from todays perspective, he examines how far we have really come.Does more to explain the South than anything Ive read in a long, long time . . . Simply put, a brilliant book. While I was reading, I kept thinking two things. One, this is totally shocking. Two, its not at all shocking but a familiar part of my life and memory. Grimsleys narrative is straightforward and plain spoken while at the same time achingly moving and intimately honest. -Josephine Humphreys, author of No Where Else on EarthI not only believed this account but was grateful to see it on the record . . . The boy in this narrative is becoming a man in a time of enormous change, and his point of view is like a razor cutting through a callus. Painful and healing. Forthright and enormously engaging. This is a book to collect and share and treasure." -Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard Out of CarolinaJim Grimsleys unflinching self-examination of his own boyhood racial prejudices during the era of school desegregation is one of the most compelling memoirs of recent years. Vivid, precise, and utterly honest, ?How I Shed My Skin is a time machine of sorts, a reminder that our past is every bit as complex as our present, and that broad cultural changes are often intimate, personal, and idiosyncratic. -Dinty W. Moore, author of Between Panic and DesireIn all his beautiful works, Jim Grimsley has told hard, hidden truths in luminous, subtle prose . . . Here, he renders history not on the grand, sociological scale where it is usually written, but on very personal terms, where it is lived. This is an exquisite, careful story of a white boy of simple background and great innocence. -Moira Crone, author of The Not YetGrimsley probes the past to discover what and how he learned about race, equality, and democracy . . . in this revelatory memoir. -Kirkus ReviewsAcclaimed writer Grimsley offers a beautifully written coming-of-age recollection from the era of racial desegregation. -Booklist, starred review.
